The supplementary sailing instructions will include:

  2. A table showing the schedule of races, including the day and date of each scheduled day of racing, the number of races scheduled each day, the scheduled time of the first warning signal each day, and the latest time for a warning signal on the last scheduled day of racing (SI 5).
  3. A list of the marks that will be used and a description of each one (SI 8). How new marks will differ from original marks (SI 10).
  4. The time limits, if any, that are listed in SI 12.
  5. Any changes or additions to the instructions in this appendix.

A copy of the supplementary sailing instructions will be available to competitors on request.
